Why Cardinals fans should be excited about Josh Rosen

The Arizona Cardinals pulled a first round stunner when they traded up to No. 10 overall in order to select former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen. It’s possible the Dolphins were targeting Rosen with the very next pick, so the Cardinals got aggressive and moved up to get their man.

Rosen was the No. 1 quarterback on many big boards, so it’s a bit of a shock to see him slide this far. The Cardinals should be thrilled that they landed Rosen with this pick.

Rosen is the most pro-ready quarterback of any signal callers in this draft. He possesses the ability to perfectly place throws in even the tightest of windows. Rosen is an excellent anticipatory thrower and he routinely throws receivers open. Mechanically, Rosen is as clean and savvy as a quarterback gets coming out of college. Rosen has all the physical tools to turn into the franchise quarterback that the Cardinals hope he is.
